Monmouth Park Race 9 - Race 9 - Mdn Special Weight
AZARIO (6) returns after ten weeks in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a fourth over 1609m at this track (Turf). Launched last prep with a minor placing at Monmouth Park over 1609m. Rates on top and is a great chance to break through. HOWITZER (5) is a two-start maiden who was unplaced on debut then improved to finish second last time over 1710m at this track (Turf), beaten 0.8 lengths. Should camp just off the leaders. Expected to go well again. FOXIESBAYMALLOW (4) got well back over 1609m at Monmouth Park (Dirt) last time and never threatened, eventually finishing 24 lengths away in sixth. Going up a level this time but he deserves another chance. PRETTY SIXXY (3) made progress last time out, finishing 9 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 1106m at this track. Likely to hold the form and is a strong top-three prospect.

Third race start today. At long odds at debut, ran second last of 7 at Monmouth Park on July 19 over 1207m, 19 len behind Ghostwriter with 54kg at $29. Second-up gave a sight but was run down late 2nd of 7 at this track on August 2 over 1710m, 0.8 len behind Gaborone carrying 53kg at $18.50. Should be right in the finish.

Resumes after a break of ten weeks and has been in the money when fresh before. Finished off last campaign fourth of 7 at this track June 14 over 1609m, 4 len behind Mo Action carrying 54kg at $3.60. When resuming last campaign second in a small field at Monmouth Park May 24 over 1609m, 2.5 len behind Clever Charlie carrying 54kg at $1.50. Look for a bold run.

Comes here off a 43-day let-up. At the latest run ran second last in a small field at Monmouth Park on July 11 over 1609m, 23 len behind Gold Light with 54kg at $13.10. The run before that ran second last of 11 at Monmouth Park on June 28 over 1207m, 15 len behind Roma Art carrying 54kg at $10.40. Recent form suggests this might be a bit too tough.
